Could you please thank Oscar for me. The clinic was extremely useful. I learnt a lot and look forward to enjoying my surf skiing even more. I have a lot of practice to do though.... Kind regards, Peter Austin, Director axrdesign hong kong

Just wanted to say thanks for putting on the clinic down in RI over the weekend. Really enjoyed meeting you, and the rest of the guys. Sunday was by far the longest distance and time I have spent in the ski. While I did run out of gas at the end, it was by far the best session I've had. I can't believe the additional speed and power I am getting out of my stroke after you got me rotating, driving with my legs and controlling my top hand. My goal is to complete the Blackburn next summer and your expertise and advice definitely gave me a huge jump in my progress. I truly feel like I really know what I have to do over the next 9 months to be ready and another Epic V10 Sport will complete the race in respectable time!! Thanks again and hopefully our paths will cross again, Chris

The second time is the charm. This successful second effort to get Oscar Chalupsky, the legendary master of downwind racing to come to RI worked. Here in southern RI are found some of the best downwind conditions in the Northeast and we wannabe's wanted Oscar to rub off some of his downwind magic on us. Thanks to the efforts of Joe Glickman and Epic's Chris Laughlin, the much awaited Big O clinic was on. We called it the Oscar and Joe Show--a 10 person surfski clinic was held at my house in October 2008. Read more..
